Is This Thing On? Gallery 1988 Celebrates Comedians And Weird Al

The pop-culture obsessed art lovers at Gallery 1988 Melrose in Los Angeles and Funny or Die are hosting their second annual “Is This Thing On?” exhibit, highlighting art about comedians and funny people. This year’s show also included a career retrospective of “Weird Al” Yankovic to celebrate the upcoming 30th anniversary of his first album. Weird Al hosted the show’s opening reception last Friday night as well.
“Is This Thing On? 2: The Weird Year” runs until Weasel Stomping Day March 31st and includes tribute art from Alex Pardee, Kiersten Essenpreis, Augie Pagan, Tom Haubrick, and nearly 100 other artists who have great taste in comedians. We’ve placed some of our favorites in the slideshow below. All pictures courtesy of Gallery 1988 and Funny or Die, and prints and originals of many of these works are still available at Gallery 1988.
